What one man, a scientist, observed in a laboratory, I take on faith. I wasn't there with the scientist when he saw what he claims to have seen. I believe what he tells me based on things like his good name, how his story matches up with my experience and how his story fits with the testimony of others.

Science and faith are not opposites. Faith is how we avoid re-inventing the wheel every day and move on in knowledge.
